Last straw snaping
Yesterdays I was putting together my references, it was taking for ever, but I had them done 89 of them for one report. Not all the other stuff I have read and had to keep up with. The week before that I had been desperately trying to put together a transfer report 60 pages trying to say what my project was doing and what my PhD would be "if I got that far, if I got it etc".
I had been getting in at about 7Am and leaving at maybe 6-7pm. Wednesday trying to talk with my supervisor I realized he had no fucking idea of what I was doing. It is his project more or less supervisor direct you at what to work on. But no fucking clue, he did not even get that what 50% of what he was saying was next to imposable, without inventing an AI with the same sort of vision processing as a human.
Knacked walking home from the lab at about 7:30pm feeling sort of okay since Angel said she would look for a job in the UK I miss a phone call from him.
"Your report, it is bollocks" in not so few words all over the place. I hope you sorted it out over the weekend. Yes as if I could do that between setting up Lab for tours filling in references etc.
Okay I don't think it is any good but putting it together in a week I would not expect it to be. So feeling fucked I carried on walking back. Then it hit me
My report is bollocks and all over the place, because the fucking project I am working on is all over the place. It is one of Anna's client from hell jobs.
No way is it worth a PhD it never could be, it is from an Engineering group trying to do software trying to do graphics trying to do Psychology in a group of one person me. IT is like superglueing 5 different masters projects together, It in short is shit.
From the simulation point it is crap
From the human factors Psychology point of view it does not have the right foundations
from the engineering point of view it is useless.
I sort of fail to see how it could be anything but, okay maybe with some support from graphics art side or some one in uni with knowledge of that and a lot of others something could be done but just me using aging computer "one blew up on a demo day" and fuck all technician level support I don't so how it can be done. For a start the project belongs in computer science and psychology NOT ENGINEERING.
I need to work out a plan B, but I am getting to the point where going to India to do training seems more and more of a good idea.
